How it works

Capture first. Tell the story. Keep it for decades.

Legacy asks for almost nothing up front. You save the moment while it is happening, add the story when you have a minute, and every person you love gets a timeline that fills itself in.

Capture in seconds

Tap Add a moment, take or pick the photo, video, voice note or words, tap who it is about, and save. Titles, dates and places can wait.

Tell the story

Every photo and video asks what the story is. Answer by voice, on video or in writing, today or ten years from now.

Keep it for the people

The moment lands on the timeline of everyone in it, once, without copies. Over the years each timeline becomes the story of a person.

The app itself

Adding a memory in Legacy: photos, video, voice, a document, writing, Don't forget this, a question, a letter

Everything the app wants from you fits on one screen.

No albums to file, no folders to name, no decisions to make before you save. The home screen exists to get you from "they just said something" to saved, in less time than it takes to open a camera roll.

  • One button, on every screen. The + at the top opens every way to capture, and each one goes straight to the camera, the recorder or the words.
  • Don't Forget This is always there. The ten-second path — type what they said, tap a face, done — is the heart beside the +.
  • The faces are the filing system. Tapping a person is how you file a moment, and the diamond means everyone in the family at once.
  • Lately, not everything. The feed shows the handful of moments you just saved, so the app opens on your own life rather than a loading archive.

People, not albums

Every person gets a timeline that grows for decades.

Photo apps organize by date and album. Baby-book apps organize by child and age. Legacy organizes around the people in your life: your children, your parents, your spouse, your grandparents, you. One memory can belong to several people without copying a single file.

Open a person's profile and you find their memories, stories, voice recordings, videos, funny quotes, milestones, traditions, letters, and messages waiting for the future. A searchable story of your relationship with them.

Live it again

An archive you actually go back to.

Play a life.

Press Play on a person, a family or an event, and the years go by: photos drift, a story told aloud plays while its photos take turns, and a Then & Now sweeps from the old photo to the new. Save it as a show, or turn it into a video for the family.

Print it.

Make a book of the same memories: a cover, a chapter for every year, the photos, the words and the stories. Print it at home, or save a PDF for a print shop.

On this day.

Star the memories that matter and Legacy brings them back on their anniversary, with birthdays too, and a heads-up as many days ahead as you choose.

The whole family

The stories you don't know are with someone else.

Ask for their story.

Send your aunt a link by text. She opens it on her own phone, sees the photo and your question, and records what she remembers. No app, no account. It waits for you to add it.

Share what you choose.

Invite family to a family or an event, and choose for each memory who sees it: just you, the family, or specific people. They can add their own photos and stories, free.

Keep it together.

On the Family plan, up to five keepers each have their own login, share a family space and storage, and name a successor to carry the archive on.

A year of small moments

You never set aside an afternoon for this. You catch it as it happens.

Nobody sits down to build an archive. What follows is one ordinary year — seven stops, none of them planned, most of them under a minute.

Tuesday, 6:40 pm · At the dinner table

"Dad, is the moon following us home?"

He says it between bites and goes back to his peas. You have about ninety seconds before it is gone for good.

Don't Forget This · tap, type, pick Jamie, save · 10 seconds
Saturday morning · The soccer field

The first goal he ever scored

You already took the photo. On the walk back to the car you hold the record button and say what the face he made looked like.

Photo plus a voice note · 25 seconds
Sunday afternoon · Grandma's kitchen

The recipe nobody ever wrote down

She is explaining it anyway, the way she always does, with the part about her mother in the middle. This time the phone is on the counter, recording.

Voice story, saved to Grandma and to the tradition · 4 minutes
A weeknight · The shoebox in the closet

A photograph from 1974 with no one left to explain it

You photograph the print. Legacy asks who is in it and what was happening, and you tell it the half of the story you know before that half goes too.

Imported, dated, and attached to three people at once
Thanksgiving · A text to Aunt Sue

The other half of the story

You send her a link with the 1974 photo and one question. That night she records eight minutes from her kitchen table, the half you never knew, and you add it to the memory.

Asked by text, told by voice, no app needed · one link
December 25 · Christmas morning

The same stairs, the fourth year running

One photo, same angle as always. It lands beside 2023, 2024 and 2025 without you organizing anything.

Added to a tradition · 5 seconds
One quiet evening · After everyone is asleep

A letter he cannot read yet

Everything you want him to know the first time he drives somewhere alone. You write it, then read it aloud so he gets your voice too.

Sealed until he turns 16 · delivered in 2035
Ten years on

Nobody ever scheduled any of it.

Seven stops a year, most of them shorter than this sentence took to read, and his timeline holds hundreds of moments, your voice through all of them.

On your phone and on the web

Saved the moment you tap, wherever you are.

Works without a signal.

The phone app saves everything on the phone first, encrypted, so a memory is never lost to a dead zone. It syncs on its own when you are back online.

Back up and sync when you are ready.

Legacy works without an account. Sign in when you want a backup, and everything you save on the phone reaches your account by itself.

Your archive in a browser.

Sign in at app.legacymemorymoments.app to see, add and tell the stories of your memories on a computer, with the same people, timelines and families.
